Forgotten By Design

Ever opened a new tab and forgotten why? Mid-scroll, mid-thought—and your mind just… blanks? No, it's not burnout. It's by design. In this book, Hardik Goel pulls back the curtain on the silent epidemic shaping the modern mind — Digital Dementia — where attention is currency, memory is outsourced, and identity is algorithmically curated. This isn't a self-help guide. It's a wake-up call disguised as a mirror. In Forgotten by Design, Hardik fuses neuroscience, mythology, and mindfulness to ask a question no screen will ever answer: Who are you, when your thoughts are not being tracked? Inside, you'll find: ? The neuroscience of forgetfulness in the attention economy. ? Ancient Vedic wisdom decoded through the lens of modern tech. ? Real experiments, strange synchronicities, and moments of quiet rebellion. Hardik doesn't tell you to unplug — he dares you to remember. To remember what focus felt like. What stillness sounded like. And what it means to be human in an age that profits from your distraction. This is not about digital detox. It's about digital awakening. Once you read this book, your mind won't scroll the same way again. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Hardik Goel has spent over a decade turning data into insight by day and chaos into prose by night. A data scientist by profession and philosopher by accident, he lives at the intersection of algorithms and awareness — where code meets consciousness. This book is what happens when logic dreams in Sanskrit and the mind tries to remember itself.
